The 44-year-old concluded months of negotiations to extend his previous deal that still had three years to run until 2019 and the fresh terms make him the highest-paid manager in the club's history.

Pochettino said: 'I could not be happier to sign this new contract. It was an easy decision for my coaching staff and I because we can feel the appreciation of everyone here - there is no better place to be right now.

'The supporters are unbelievable, we have assembled a great group of players with huge potential that can get even better, while the facilities we have to work in are world-class. We also have an incredible new stadium to look forward to and now we are determined to build a side worthy of playing in such an exciting new venue.

'We have enjoyed a great season and we believe this is just the beginning. We have a long-term project and huge belief that we can achieve something big here for the future.

'This club has all the ingredients to continue to challenge at the very top in both the Premier League and in Europe and we want to be here to be a part of what I believe will be a special period in the club's history.'

Pochettino joined Spurs from Southampton two seasons ago and in his short time at the club he has transformed the whole ethos, revamped the squad and has led them to their highest-ever league finish in the Premier League era.
